Swimmod_Luna Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 So I have 2 interviews next week (Yay!). But both are during work hours. One day I can flex it out and just come in later and leave later, but one I'll have to take personal time for. For both I'll have to tell my supervisor. Should I be honest or make up a fake doctor appointment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viperxmns Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Well, depending on their attitude if they know you're looking for a new job they could maybe try giving you incentive to stay You should prob be up front in any case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmod_Luna Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 funeral excuse works relative going to the er is another getting the flu is a great one I already had a plan. I was gonna say I had to take my car in one day and come in late (which I did today but today is my usual late night so no one knows I had to take it in). The day I was gonna leave early I was going to say I have a dentist appointment. I have too much shit to do to call off a whole day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vamped Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I never give reasons. I just say I need to take a personal day or PTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naraku4656 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 i would NEVER tell them i was looking for a new job. that's a good way to get yourself fired. just claim a doctors appointment or something. set up a bogus eye appointment or something so if he calls you on it you can forward him to their office Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viperxmns Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Can a company really fire you for looking for another job? I guess they can set terms in their contracts but seems iffy (legally) to me to fire someone for reasons that have nothing to do with their performance (or other ethical reasons) A quick search tells me you can sue for being fired for looking for another job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on a last chance agreement thing that says the union can't represent me if another incident like what happened before occurs, but they can still represent me for anything else. Don't think he can call me on appointments like that, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
